In addition to static previews, BBEdit also supports live
local previewing of web pages through the web server built
into Mac OS X. This capability enables you to easily preview
pages which are built using server-side technologies, for
example, DHTML or PHP.
To enable live previewing for a defined web site project, you
must turn on the Use Local Preview Server option and enter an
appropriate Site Path on Server in the HTML Web Sites
preference panel (see page 221). *You must also turn on the
“Personal Web Sharing” option in the Sharing panel of the
System Preferences to start the built-in web server*.
To me, it appears pretty obvious that some kind of "local web
server functionality" must be present to have "live preview"
of web pages that use both css and server side includes. One
ways was using Apples stuff in Lion and earlier, another is MAMP.
That is correct -- but it's also not what you said initially. :-)
I think that is a perfectly valid complaint, but one that
should be directed in Apple's direction
That has already been done, but I am pretty certain that it
will have no effect. (See e.g
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5230.) So, the issue is
definitely a problem for BBEdit and you need to relate to it in
some way.
Apple's failure to be responsive to your complaint does not
constitute a technical or product design problem in BBEdit. This
remains a problem that Apple will need to address; and in fact
they have already done so, as described in the article that you
cite. You clearly think otherwise, but I don't think that the
facts will support your position.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
